I’ve been trying out the Garnier Body Superfood Aloe Vera + Magnesium Cream for two weeks now, and I have to say, it’s been a pleasant surprise. Here’s my full review:
First Impressions:
The cream feels super lightweight when you scoop it out, and it spreads effortlessly on the skin. I really like how quickly it absorbs—there’s no waiting around for it to dry, which is a big plus. Also, you only need a small amount for each area, so the tub will probably last a while.
Scent:
The fragrance is lovely—clean, fresh, and not too overpowering. It’s one of those scents that feels relaxing without being too noticeable, which is perfect if you’re sensitive to strong smells or like layering other scented products.
Effectiveness:
I noticed a difference in my skin after just a couple of days. It felt softer and smoother, and after a week or so, I could see it looked more hydrated, especially on areas like my elbows and shins, where I usually get dry patches. The hydration seems to last all day, which I didn’t expect, but I wouldn’t say it’s a full 48 hours as the product claims.
Packaging:
The tub is practical for home use because it’s a big size and holds plenty of product, but it’s not exactly portable. A smaller option would be handy for travel or keeping in my bag. Also, I think a pump bottle could make it a bit easier and less messy to use.
Room for Improvement:
A travel-size version would be super convenient.
A richer formula for people with very dry skin could be a nice addition to the range.
I’d love to see a fragrance-free option for those with super sensitive skin.
Overall Thoughts:
This cream has been a game-changer for my skin. It’s hydrating, easy to use, and smells amazing without being overpowering. My skin looks and feels so much better since I started using it, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who struggles with dryness.
Rating: 9/10 – just wish it was easier to take on the go!
